L.A. Dance Magic Final Nationals Information

The convention and competition schedule has arrived. We have put all of the schedule for our studio included in this packet, but if you would like to print a schedule for the whole competition & print another convention schedule go to www.ladancemagic.com, then click on National Finals, and then click on schedule. Also included in this packet is a costume checklist along with your hair instructions. We are begging all dancers to go through their bags today and make sure that you have every costume item that is needed. Please make sure that you have every item before you leave to California! Something that is not included in this packet, but that will be sent home by Thursday of this week is a list of all teacher contact numbers along with contact numbers for every dancer. This is a great way to get in contact with us when you have arrived in California. If you are staying in the Marriot, signs will be posted showing you where L.A. Dance Magic’s venue is at in the building. When you arrive we strongly suggest you go and check that out so that you can become acquainted with where your dancer will be spending most of their time. If you are not staying in the host hotel please contact one of the teachers when you arrive so that they can direct you where you need to go in order to get to the competition area correctly. There are just a few more reminders that we would like to bring to your attention:
All dancers need to be in the dressing room 1 hour before their scheduled performance time. They need to be completely dressed in their costume and have all hair and make-up (including eyelashes and lipstick) done. Please do not be late! This is what we have worked for the whole year want everyone to do their very best.
All dancers need to be wearing their studio 1 travel uniform over their costumes when they come down to the competition and any time that they are sitting in the audience to watch.
All dancers need to stay for awards if they participated in that portion of the competition. It looks terrible if there is no one at the awards ceremony to pick up our studios awards. The awards times are listed on your competition schedule below.
There is absolutely no photography or videoing allowed in the competition. This is their rule not ours, but please abide it. This is something that can and has greatly affected competition scores in the past!
All dancers are required to attend every convention class! This includes the scholarship audition. Whether you think so or not the L.A. Dance Magic keeps track of those studios dancers who are not attending classes and this really does affect the scores to their competition dances.
We do understand that it is fun to be in California and to go to Disneyland, but the reason dancers are going to Nationals is for dance. This needs to be their main focus. Now that the schedule is out it looks like everyone will have a chance to do some of the fun things with their families. Please schedule those at appropriate times where it is not going to affect the convention or competition.
And last we just want to remind everyone how proud we are of them and how excited we are for Nationals. We have a lot of confidence in all of our dancers and can’t wait to show off how great you all are. We are excited to have a really fun week of dance with all of you.
